Sulking Tevez back in 'expensive' Manchester
UNSETTLED striker Carlos Tevez returned to Manchester City yesterday and the English city he had sworn he would never return to.
The Argentine has made no secret of his desire to leave the big-spending Premier League club, complaining of home sickness and saying there was nothing to do in Manchester and that the weather was bad.
Television pictures showed Tevez arriving at the club's training ground after a holiday following his spell on international duty at the Copa America, having missed City's 3-2 defeat by Manchester United in the Community Shield on Sunday.
There has been daily speculation in the newspapers about the future of Tevez, who had seemed poised for a move to Corinthians before the Brazilian club pulled out last month.
The 27-year-old, whose work ethic and goals had made him a popular figure among City supporters, upset fans with scathing comments on an Argentine chat show in June. Manchester "has nothing" and is "very expensive", he said. "I'm never going back to Manchester, not even on holiday, not for anything."
Tevez, who joined City from United in 2009, had said last December that he wanted to quit the club, before withdrawing his transfer request a few days later and setting about helping the side win the FA Cup, its first trophy for 35 years.
